MediaShift | PBS - 9 Tips to Improve Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
Mark Glaser wrote a great piece over at MediaShift about the new redesign he is undergoing of their website. He enlisted the advice of Aaron Wall from SEOBook.com for the redesign, and is blogging/writing about the entire process.
See Marks quote below:
Over the next few months, I’ll be redesigning MediaShift in conjunction with adding new video and audio features. One of my goals for the redesign is, not surprisingly, to increase traffic; and with nearly 50% of MediaShift traffic coming from Google, getting more traffic means doing more SEO.
The Top 9 SEO Suggestions are listed below:
1. Get inbound links and link out as well.
2. Headlines and title tags should have key words up front.
3. Web addresses for your blog posts or articles should include key words.
4. Page descriptions should be unique or eliminated.
5. Highlight your best content on every page.
6. Create theme or category pages, and run more special series.
7. Limit tags and categories to the most important ones.
8. Create a Google News sitemap and optimize images.
9. Get into offline conversations as well as online ones.
I think this is a really awesome article and it also marks a pivotal point for the SEO industry as well - it’s not often when BIG media is covering topics like this on their site, about their site.
Kudos go out to Mark for such a great piece, I encourage all SEOi users and readers to check it out here.
